Psalms 54
The psalmist cries out to God for salvation and vindication from ruthless enemies who do not acknowledge God. Despite the danger, the psalmist trusts in God as their helper and upholder of life. God will ultimately bring evil upon the enemies and the psalmist vows to offer a freewill sacrifice in gratitude. The psalmist has already experienced God's deliverance from trouble and has triumphed over their enemies.
1O God, save me, by your name, and vindicate me by your might.2O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.3For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before themselves. Selah4Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.5He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them.6With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good.7For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
